Colostomy UK, like so many charities across the UK, has been hugely affected by the cancellation of thousands of fundraising events, so we’re delighted that the organisers of the biggest mass participation sports events have come together to create a new campaign to raise vital funds to save the UK’s charities; and that we can be part of it. 

There has been some concern about supply of stoma and continence equipment in the current circumstances, so we felt that it would be helpful for you to see the guidance issued to GP practices and the suppliers of your equipment. 

With the Coronavirus forcing us to self-isolate, we thought we’d put together some links, hints and tips to help keep you physically and mentally active at home.

We’ve put together what we think is a list of great ideas for activities people can do at home with their family or housemates, and raise funds for Colostomy UK as well.

From Dance off’s to Jenga, or sponsored head shaves there’s bound to be something that you can do.

With the developing situation around Covid-19 and as a health and wellbeing charity, Colostomy UK wants to ensure that it puts in place responsible measures to protect our team (volunteers and office team) and, of course, the people we support. With this in mind, Colostomy UK’s board of trustees have decided to postpone all of our events and cancel our attendance at open days until the end of April.

The latest edition of our award winning magazine Tidings is now available to download.

All your usual favourites are included like ‘Irrigation and You’, ‘Dear Nurse’, all the latest news from the Colostomy UK team, our projects and campaigns, plus real life stories and much more.
